Creative Thinking Review | Week 11

This marks the last post of Creative Thinking module. Honestly speaking, this Arts & Foundation programme went passed like a flash of lightning. First days may seemed like a billion years ago to some but seriously, the memory of it are still fresh as ever in my mind. Creative Thinking, I'd say, the  most enjoyable module to attend. Not for the sake of what's been taught or what we learn, but also the lecturer. I think it not for Mr Ezzam, I would not have take as much interest into Creative Thinking. 

I've said something about him on my social media and I'm gonna say it here again. Mr Ezzam is just..

He's always so greatly unconventional.

I really am lucky and deeply grateful that he was my lecturer. He knows it too well that we don't have to be "babied?". He's always so casual and funny which I think is a good thing. Life is never always about seriousness and being systematic. How he puts Creative Thinking is not just merely showing us slides every week and throw us a bunch of assignments to our faces and expects us to think for ourselves. No. He goes beyond. He challenges us with his own interactive ideas.  He teaches us creativity beyond them closed doors. What the world has to offer, that Creative Thinking is another platform for us to prepare. He always mentioned that,

 "between these 4 walls, it's really where we can make mistakes".

On some levels, the topics are straight-forward (e.g. Brainstorming) but that does not mean that it's an irrelevant general knowledge. Creative Thinking, to me, is like a break from reality. As compared to other modules, where it's always about the hustlin' and bustlin. The setting is really different. Two hours of Tuesdays with Mr Ezzam feels like a moment where timing could actually slow down.

You feel me? It brings me back to my own thoughts before I get caught up with the world. & Especially in the design industry, we have to have the need to re-evaluate ideas and thoughts and improvise. Creative Thinking taught us to loosen up with our intentions. Our sensitivity. So not only we can organize and create well but also create awareness. With great passion and determination, we ought to achieve anything and everything we want. Patience is a virtue. Especially in design, it does not happen overnight. We have to keep it consistent and take that extra step. Be creative and do you.
